Friends:
The Seven Qualities of an Arahat:
For any fully awakened Arahat
<http://What-Buddha-Said.net/library/DPPN/ay/arahat.htm> :
1: The impermanence of all constructions is perfectly seen and comprehended.
2: The addiction and torture of all sense-desires is perfectly perceived &
known..
3: His mind is only inclined towards solitude, seclusion, silent ease, and
Peace...
4: The Four <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/III/Awareness_Sati.htm>
Foundations of Awareness are continually & perfectly established...
5: The Five
<http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/III/Five_Abilities_Summary.htm> Mental
Abilities & Powers are thoroughly developed & consummated...
6: The Seven
<http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/III/Leading_to_Enlightenment.htm> Links
to Awakening are utterly refined and fully accomplished...
7: The Noble <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/The_Way.htm> Eightfold
Way is perfectly realized, acquired and all concluded...
By these 7 criteria, he clearly and invariably recognizes, that for him, has
the
mental <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/The_Three_Fermentations.htm>
fermentations associated with Sense-Desire, joined with Becoming,
and grounded in Ignorance been completely and irreversibly eliminated!
Cut of at the root and like a palm tree stump never ever to grow again...
The mission is completed. Done is what was to be done. No more of this...
More on what those gone to the end, have perfected:
